One trouble seems to be with the Asus A7A266--some cursory searching of deja indicates that there were problems noted in Release 4.3 that haven't yet been fixed. After trying a few cards (didn't even realize the problem was the ASUS till I downgraded a Voodoo5) I was able to get adequate, though not great, resolution with a G200, using XFree 3.x. No joy with XFree 4.x (All cards worked perfectly in a low end machine with an SiS chipsets, with XFree 4.1 and 4.2) The same cards gave me no problem with MS or Linux on the same box. >Have you tried the port of the Linux nvidia driver that Matthew Dodd >created? >ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/nvidia/README >Beware it's not a finished product but it does work well for me at least >:) Haven't tried Mr. Dodd's port as I don't have a Geoforce--still, I'm betting it's the MB rather than the card, but if I had a Geoforce, I'd give it a shot :) Scott Robbins >--- >Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer >for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au >"The nice thing about standards is that there >are so many of them to choose from." > -- Andrew Tanenbaum > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
